Palm Island Resort, located on Florida’s Southwest Gulf Coast, is the state’s only true-out island resort. There are no bridges or causeways to the island, which ensures a relaxed, tropical vacation setting. The island resort encompasses a two-mile portion of private, pristine beaches on the northern end of Palm Island. Guests travel to the island via car ferry and park their car in our island parking area. Cars are not allowed in the resort. Transportation is provided by our bell staff and golf carts are also available for rent for registered guests.

We have 5 heated pools, plus hot tub and gas BBQ grills at each pool area. There are 11 hard tennis courts available for play at no charge. Our recreation center, Coconuts, offers a variety of rentals to include golf carts, bicycles, kayaks and beach umbrellas. Our full service concierge can also arrange for everything from massages to fishing charters. Be sure to catch a Pirate Show with the resort’s own Red Beard the Pirate. Join a complimentary water aerobics class, nature walk or yoga on the beach when scheduled. Whether you wish to spend your time with us on the go or taking it slow, you’re sure to enjoy your visit where it’s Your Island, Your Time, and Your Memories.

This was our first vacation through TAN that we took with our 18 month old daughter. We wanted a place that had a kitchen, so we could prepare meals rather than eating out as our daughter is not great in restaurants at this age. We also wanted a place that had a pool and beach without too much distraction. Our vacation was the perfect amount of peace and restfulness that we needed but with enough activity to keep our daughter entertained. Palm Island resort was perfect!

Our continued visits to Palm island are nothing short of awesome. Let me tell you why.. I expect beautiful beaches and water but the continued surprise is the staff that greets us and makes us feel so special and cared for each time. Cocanuts has to be the friendliest place on Earth with people like Jamie and Dustin who dote and acknowledge and care for our every need. Further, is how Maggie and Casey make us feel important and help us shop for special gifts and sacred mementos. The end of the day is always relaxing with Walt or Brittany greeting us in the restaurant and Frank, Campy or CJ listening to our day. Seriously, THese staff members across the board make Palm Island a great place to visit. I have long been a fan of Marty in the office to now include Vanesssa and how about a sweet girl name Faith who was professional and working hard. Palm Island is as much about the people as it is the beaches. It is why we choose it every chance we get! Please let the Powers at be recognize the outstanding job these individuals go to that make our trip a success each and every time we rent a unit!

We had never been to Palm Island Resort and it was truly a unique experience. The staff was so courteous and extremely helpful. The resort is just beautiful and well maintained. Wonderful place to walk. The beach feels as if you have it all to yourself. Our stay was very short and we would have liked to have had one more day. Our unit was conveniently located to the pool and an easy walk to both our car and to Coconuts. We did eat a couple of meals at the restaurant within the resort and thought the food was very good and the service even better. Our only complaint is there is no wii fi within our unit; we were told we were there to relax and enjoy the tranquility. However, my husband is not retired and was actually working to some extent - needing to use internet - and not necessarily wanting to conduct business in the middle of a coffee shop. We also keep in touch with family using the internet - - it is 2016 afterall - and for as savvy as Palm Island Resort is at promoting their facility via the internet and for as much as you pay to stay there, you would think it would be provided in the units. Additionally, the upholstered furniture in our unit was truly filthy. We put towels down before sitting on it - - it was that bad. We learned that the unit is for sale and I assume the owners do not want to put any more into it. But clearly that aspect has not been addressed and it was less than appealing. There is also little lighting around the grounds in the evening; it gets so black you do not enjoy going out in the evening for walks. The pool area closes at dusk so there is not evening swimming or use of the hot tub. It's a beautiful resort regardless and for anyone wanting to get away from the crowds on other beaches, it does fit the bill.

We enjoyed our recent stay at the Palm Island Resort for a joyous gathering of family and friends to witness a young couple's wedding. The accommodations were beautiful and the weekend events flawless. The weather was like the t-shirt, "wind chill--90 degrees"!
